Everchanging Wallnado

That’s another name for this product that I just made up! I mean the name, that is, this concept was designed by the incomparable Amirko, and it’s real name is “Change It!” Ohh scoop it! It’s one big wall of turn-triangles. Each of these triangles has different colors on them – white – black – and a slightly unique rainbow shade. As you can see in the first picture here, when the color is on full blast, it makes a mural all it’s own.

What combination of madness can be made? Choose your own adventure!

For now it’s the colors as explained above. In the future it might have any number of different choices for the sides – lights, materials, typography, body parts, animal fur, whatever!

A circular/cylindrical writing instrument being the physical standard seems quite interesting. We’ve worked with everything from hexagonal pencils, to super-thin quills, to rectangular sticks of charcoal……

As we all can see the basic Idea of turning prisms was not mine (thank you Amirko aka Amirkhan Abdurakhmanov), but a 3D Render wasn't enough for me. I had to put something like this on my wall. And because I do have a job that consumes most of my time it took me only 1,5 years to finish this project 😀 Tests with different Materials, different colors, creating conceptual plans and afterwards the hands on construction of everything. I know it is not animatable with a computer or Arduino or whatever AND it is not emitting light. But as I am some kind of computer geek myself (Software-Developmer and Motion Designer) that's the whole point, to come back to analog installations. And if you have to buy, implement and program almost 600 (I kept only three of four wall modules) stepper motors, you think about it twice 😀

As everybody can see I used light wood (spruce). It is still pretty heavy so construction around has to take around 35kg, which is a bad thing for transportation, installation and at last … the wall. Also because “wood works all the time” you have to count with an amount of deformation of the cubes because of temperature and humidity, but in my case I took these points as part of the concept of a more organic approach and am more than pleased with it.

In theory of course you could use plastic cubes as well, that don’t deform and are way lighter, but I couldn’t find someone who could have made all the cubes for an affordable amount of money (and if nobody in this forum guessed yet what the raw material costs of ONE my modules are –> around 600€). But there was ONE idea that would have been a shot, if I didn’t get it to late: you could use milled styrofoam (that is relllllatively cheap), maybe drill the holes your self (but keap in mind they have to be pretty precise on the top AND the bottom) and use some kind of paint that hardens the faces, so that you won’t destroy with the first touch.

What did you use to separate the prisms vertically on the poles? Did you contemplate simply stacking them on top of each other? It looks like you have some sort of washer fixed in place to keep the gaps.

I used cable straps. But I have to admit, that those have to be attached ver close, so they won’t move when you move the prisms. If you don’t separate the prisms, it would be a mess to design a new mural, because the prisms on top would of course turn as well.

Hey. Great idea. I had a similar one. However. I want to see a led style mood wall. You have a color wheel like in photoshop you move finger on the circle in a room and it changes color for you. To fit your mood could also set up for themes. Party, certain music, work outs. Most anything could preset colors.
